Joad vehicle

Two points, the article should have information about the vehicles. One detail in the book, that it has a 12v electrical system, seems erroneous. 6v systems were the norm of vehicles up to 1955, 30 years later. In 1956 the thunderbird, a luxury sports car made the change from 6 to 12v, its seems unlikely an old vehicle would have superior technology. can anyone speak to whether there was indeed 12v systems then? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.16.15.150 (talk • contribs) September 27, 2006

Links

We need an actual external link for the "California Pastoral" article to balance out the Keith Windschuttle "Myth of the Okies."

-NStearns

Actually that's not true, "Myth of the Okies." is full of useless facts that has little things to do with such article —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.86.99.33 (talk • contribs) September 25, 2005

This is the greatest american novel ever written. its very an interesting book to read/

Title

In the section on "Explanation of the novel's title," the sentence:

"The Grapes of Wrath", suggested by his wife, Carol, deemed more suitable than any of the names John himself could come up with.

...doesn't parse. It should be either "seemed" or "was deemed." I don't want to edit it because I'm not sure what the original writer intended. And, of course, if it's changed to "was deemed," that raises the question, was deemed by whom? By Steinbeck, or perhaps by his editor or publisher? —Preceding unsigned comment added by MylesCallum (talk • contribs) May 26, 2006

Do you know The Grapes of Wrath's objection pamphlet "The Grapes of Happiness"?

I read on the Japanese Wikipedia page there is a objection pamphlet this work titeled "The Grapes of Happiness" published 1939 or 1940 in California. Is this real? RJANKA (talk) 06:45, 8 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]
